Gender Studies at John Jay College CUNY

We hope to see you today at our Women's Center for Gender Justice (Rm. L.67 New Building) for a talk by Şeyda Nur Yıldırım, a scholar of gender, history, and performance visiting from Kadir Has University in Istanbul, Turkey. Yıldırım is one of the scholars working on Staging National Abjection, a project funded by the European Research Council.

This in-person event on campus that should be of interest to all of you studying gender, history, performance, and the politics and histories of genocide; it may be of interest to your students as well and a good change of pace for the last week of class (right before the First Year Showcase!).

Yıldırım's talk, "The Underrepresented Legacy of Armenian Women in Turkish Theatre," discusses some of the most sensitive questions of Turkish national and cultural history from the perspectives of theatrical representation and women's participation in artistic practice. You can find an abstract of the talk below.

Refreshments will be served.

This event is sponsored by the Gender Studies Program, Women's Center for Gender Justice, and the English Department.
